Philly Cheese Steak Spaghetti

Got leftover roast beef? Want a different way to use it? Here’s the answer–Philly Cheese Steak, but on spaghetti and not a roll!

I’ve wanted to make this recipe for a very long time…ever since I first saw it on my friend Lillian’s blog, My Recipe Journey. Lillian has made thousands of recipes she’s found online over the years, some have become keepers and some have not. The posts on ones that have not made the cut are a riot because Lillian just gives you the facts, along with a photo of the disaster and plenty of good humor as well.

This recipe is one of her originals. The reason I love Lillian’s personal recipes is she really thinks out of the box on some and her original recipe for this is one of them!

There’s not much you can do to alter perfection, but I did add a few things to her original.

I added mushrooms merely because I had close to 8 ounces that I didn’t want to go bad and I added some garlic to the meat/onion mix. I’m really surprised Lillian didn’t add any since we were always challenging each other in our “Garlic Wars” where we’d up the garlic ante back and forth because we love the stuff so much!!

The cheese sauce here is pretty basic–in both recipes. However, I tend to use whole milk or half and half because I like a good rich cheese sauce.

Anyway, for this recipe, you can use leftover roast beef as I did, or buy it thinly sliced from your grocery deli. Either way, it works! And if you like gobs of cheese sauce, then just double the sauce recipe!
